In a town full of great drummers, Johnny Vidacovich stands out in New Orleans. He’s been part of the city’s musical backbone for decades. He knows the rhythms of the city. This week, we’re listening to a late night set recorded live at Jazz, TX in 2019. In addition to Johnny Vidacovich, the set also offers an opportunity to savor the sweet voice of the late Pierre Porree, another New Orleans native.
